Now this with the seal stop leak with ARX.

This seems like a one way street, do as we say not as we do thing going on here.
I for one are not buying these woof tickets.


Au contraire, I am an all inclusive additive kinda guy.

As I have stated many times before, you guys use whatever makes you feel comfortable and whatever your pocketbook can bear, but I again would caution you to use the formula above when adding anything other than PCMO.

As an aside, the polymer ester in HyperLube

does not appreciably increase the viscosity of the host oil.

Just don't ask me how much OTC or Third-Party additive to add.

So there you go, choose your weapons and come out fighting.

^Which was really cool to see the VOA of that product.

I know you aren't usually for adding on top of properly formulated products, but Lubegard is one 'additive' company I am willing to try their products at least once.

However, certain niche additives like the Lubro Moly MoS2, perhaps has a place as an inexpensive non-ester additive.

I know this question may get boring, but what engine problem are you trying to cure or what piece of the PCMO are you trying to improve upon?

^I've tried the additives out. I don't regularly use them, however. It's interesting to me, though I don't necessarily feel they are needed on top of the existing oils. More like a poor man's tinkering hobby.

What I'd like to do is try ABA runs with a certain conventional with one additive, then the other. However, at this time I've got a coolant leak. Oh well.

Because those are the only ones he's actually used. And he was satisfied with the results. However if the rest of us use an additive and are happy with it we don't know what we're talking about.

Ah, the double standard reigns supreme here....

That pretty much sums it up.
